A dozen listings, a dozen slots. Every carton fills up with real backyards near you.

How it works

Three steps, no middleman.

We're a noticeboard, not a shop. You never send us your eggs or your money — you just get found by people down the road.

01

List your chooks' output

Quantity for the week, your price, your suburb. Takes two minutes, update it whenever your hens do.

02

Neighbours browse the board

Buyers search by suburb and see who's got eggs going spare nearby, sorted by distance and freshness.

03

They reach out directly

Contact details go straight to you. You arrange the pickup, the price, the dozen — same as it's always been, just easier to find.

Why not just use Facebook?

Built for eggs, not endless scrolling.

Rules of the run

Quick answers for backyard sellers listing in Victoria.

Do I need a licence to sell my eggs?

Not if you keep fewer than 50 birds and sell direct to the public — you're exempt from stamping and licensing, but you're still responsible for food safety under the Victorian Food Act. Keep coops clean, never sell cracked or dirty eggs, and keep a simple record of what you sell.

What if I have 50 or more chickens?

You'll need a free Property Identification Code from Agriculture Victoria and must stamp every egg with a unique code before selling. Chook Board works the same either way — the listing process doesn't change.

Does Chook Board handle payment or delivery?

No — we're a listing board only. Buyers and sellers connect directly and sort out pickup, price, and payment between themselves, same as any local classifieds.

Is it free to list?

Yes, listing your weekly eggs is free while we're in early access. We'll always keep a free tier for backyard-scale sellers.

Got hens laying more than you can eat?
